Oh shoot! A meme!

Fisheye2. White. Nuff said.

Wait, you’re wondering where the meme is? Its a few lines down below.  See what I did with the title? (Oh shoot! Get it? No? Fine.) Anyway, I got my hands on this baby the other night (met up with Jennie) but I was busy so I couldn’t write an entry right away. Heh. That’s also why this meme is late (I was tagged by Helga last Sunday)

1. What was I doing 10 years ago? Being stressed and pressured because all my elementary classmates were no longer at the same section as I was. At the same time we moved houses so all my childhood friends (some [American ones] went back to the States) and memories faded away. Also, mourning for the loss of vendomachines with lots of chocolates and candies around my neighborhood (not exactly my neighborhood).  Come to think of it, I was emo before I even knew it. Oh! I was also busy playing the guitar (or at least learning how to) and exchanging Hanson posters. (What?)

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today? Since my day is about to end, I plan to go home, take pictures with my Fisheye2 and finish the whole roll of film, sleep, wake up, go to the nearest Konica express and get it processed. Since it takes them an hour and a half to scan the transfer the pictures to a cd, I will walk around the mall and check out some beachwear because we are going to the beach this weekend for a company outing. No Im not excited because we are going to Subic, where I live. Meh.

//Edit: I just got myself into a drinkfest so I wont be able to sleep just yet.

//Edit: I got home soooo late so I wasn’t able to look around for beachwear, I got the film processed though.

3. Snacks I enjoy: Nachos, Doritos, Lays, Ruffles and salsa. Oreo cookies dunked in peanut butter. Cheese, on tuna. Cheese on crackers or alone, cubed. Uhm… Is rice a snack? Cus I love eating kaaaaanniiiinnn!!!

4. Places I’ve lived: Olongapo City, (Subic) Zambales | Acacia,  Malabon City | Sampaloc, Manila | WoW Cubao, Quezon City

5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire: I wouldn’t be here now. Im prolly busy taking pictures of the pyrmids in Egypt, I will waste it on trips all over the world. Buy A LOT OF SHOES. Waste it on film and digital cameras. Manage a business. Oh and also donate occassionally to charity. Lulz.

6. People I want to know more about: Hmmm….I don’t really know.

Thursday, I went to Shangri-La Plaza for the French Film Festival only to find out that the film I was trying to catch, Serbis, was shown the day before. FAIL. This film made it to Cannes and I heard it was praised by Sean Penn. Anyway, I made it in time for the 4:30pm curtain, the film was  Ma vie en l’air (Love is in The Air). It was ok but somehow lacking. The story is about a guy who works as a plane crash risk analyst. I forgot what he’s called but he gives tests to pilots through a trouble simulator and checks how the pilots would get out of the situation the safest way possible, to prevent casualties. But he is afraid to ride the plane himself and hasn’t been on one ever. He finds, what he thinks is his true love but she flies to Australia and asks him to follow but he doesn’t because of his fear. After the movie, I decided to get food before I watch the next film (7pm)which is called Now Showing. This film was the highlight of the night. The director, Raya Martin, was there (I didn’t expect him to be so young) as well as some of the actresses. The movie was 4hrs and 50mins long. (whew!) I know, this was originally 9hrs and it was trimmed down. Because of this I was curious so I stayed to watch atleast the first 2hrs (I have work at 10pm). First 30 mins o fit and I wanted to leave. OMG it was boring. The reason why it was 4hrs long was because it was raw. Imagine watching raw home video footages from childhood, that’s what it was like. Ok, I have to give credit to the idea but I wished he edited it and took out some scenes. The end part of the tape , you know, when your screen turns blue? Yes, it was there too. No offense, this is just my opinion. The movie could have been a good one but I wouldn’t know for sure. I dunno if something happens in the end, something exciting perhaps, because I didn’t have enough patience and curiosity. The movie was also part of Cannes. Meh. I’ve had it and left after the scene he took of a Jolibee toy figure moving around the table. FAIL.

A few weeks back, I found a Cannon EOS Rebel K2 lying around at home and I was on my way to the beach. So I grabbed it and tested it. I had so much fun. However, I used a cheap film so the pictures aren’t that clear. Uhm… I’m not sure if that’s related? I just got the film processed at Digiprint, set here. Also, I dunno why I’m developing (Get it? Developing? No? Fine.) the habit of posting updates on my weekend, that took place more than two weeks ago. Huh?

I uploaded this and it turned upside down. Weird.
